About


Love and spice are great bedfellows, but often these days I find that too much spice can snuff out the flavor.  There is nothing like  spice for a romantic dinner that lingers on the palate without smothering the flavors.  Smoked peppers, Saffron and chocolate finished with a splash of Patron Tequila will certainly inspire a love-filled night.  Smoked peppers are great during the winter or a chilly Valentine’s night
